The New schedule
Hey all, has anyone heard about the new schedule the board is planing for middle schoolers next year?!!!? They are thinking about alternating the days for S.S. and Science. so it would be like this -
-Mon- Social Studies
-Tues.- Science
-Wed.- Social Studies
etc. ect.
I think this would cause more confusion on students as if there isn't enough already!!!!!!!!!!! People are unorganized and easily confused... this is going to make it worse and bring grades down because people will be confused and will bring grades down :!: :shock: !!!!! I think if they are concerned that we are forgetting the other subject after a semester then they should either add a Pd in the day by shortening classes or by teaching us science and social studies in 1 class.
- I am very Concerned about this :eusanaughty:


The New schedule
yes and the 8th graders taking an high school language already have alternating days. eventualy they are going to take the high school languages out of the middle schools too. (ex: spanish or french 1)
The New schedule
the A and B day switch is already confusing enough
and it's easier to just learn one of the cores (SS or Science) for one half of the year and then switch
also, trying to put them both in one class would be even more confusing
The New schedule
i agree but i cant believe they are not going to let 8th graders take spanish/french 1, soon in the future
The New schedule
Im in 6th grade and I think that is one of the more better ideas that they have had i mean the msa comes before since is even over so its like we dont even have a chance on getting 100% unless your a since major
The New schedule
in all true, I'm completely against a Science MSA
I think that is unfair
but taking on another switch/ A-B thing, I think, would be a bit much
The New schedule
i'm against it too because i'm taking sci in the 2nd marking period and will take the msa before i can complete the course
The New schedule
same here
and why do we even need a Science MSA
The New schedule
Aren't the Math and Language Arts MSAs enough? :evil:
The New schedule
I know toataly and all of u agenst the whole sci. ss switch off may want to think about how much more fun it would be( not in a "WOW COOL SCI+ SS ON THE SAME SECDULE) to chande it up nat the same ole boring scedule every day.
Who went to the crasc middleschool meeting? I was the one who spoke about the whole sprit week thing.
The New schedule
while the switching off would change it up, it'd still be to difficult
just the thought of trying to cram math, both my different LA, and SS is just at a right level (not inculding Band)
trying to cram Science as well, and doing that for the WHOLE year would get a little old and headache inducing, to me, personally (I don't know your schedule)
Also, I like chaging up the year with the SS -> Science switch
it is a change
the ONLY change in my year
The New schedule
But what about learning science? It isn't about not wanting to take a test. After all, a test is a measure of your understaning of a topic. If you really understood science, the test would not be a problem. However, under the current schedule it is impossible to really learn a subject on a longterm basis. Besides, all classes in high school are on an a/b schedule, so you better get used to it at some point. Might as well start gradually in middle school.
The New schedule
still... (it'd be a little annoying if i were in 6th grade)
also, to me, having an MSA for it is troublesome
I mean, we're already having a final exam for it, whats the point of another test :?
The New schedule
Well, we can't change the MSA, so since you have them anyway, it is better to take science all year so at least you are ready.
The New schedule
And just to let u know at my school already they are doing the rotation.
Re: The New schedule
